Metastock Pro FX

Will be checking with them to review what exactly is included for $65 USD/month.

Anyone using this package have comments? Would like to hear:

- How true the data feed is, spikey/hot?
- How reliable the system is? Up all of the time or frequent outages?
- What happens when there is an outage? Is data replaced or will there be a gap of no data for the time the outage took place.
- Quality of technical support
- What specific news is included
- How much historical FX data is included.
- Overall impressions/comments. EX: is this a decent competitive alternative to TradeStation (GFT data feed)?

As per my comments under Forex Brokers >> TradeStation - GFT Feed, looking for a replacement...

In my experience, Reuters has the best forex data. Very good. The new Reuters 3000 (their best product) has Metastock in the package of course it is 1000 a month. This sounds like a bargain at 65 bucks. Oh and it would have to be competitive to tradestation.

I called them. Everything looks great. I am seriously considering switching. I suggest you call them and discuss and review pricing.

- How true the data feed is, spikey/hot?
This is the full Reuters FX Feed. S/B 1st class.

- How reliable the system is? Up all of the time or frequent outages?
S/ have the same up time as other Reuters products.

- What happens when there is an outage? Is data replaced or will there be a gap of no data for the time the outage took place.
The data is scrubbed and replaced when required.

- Quality of technical support
I did not ask, assuming it is good.

- What specific news is included
Reuters News, FX focused and more - almost sounds like the full feed.

- How much historical FX data is included.
Alot, (Perhaps it is * 30 days of tick data, 250 days of intraday historical data, 30 years of daily data and 23 years of fundamental data as posted by just21)

- Overall impressions/comments. EX: is this a decent competitive alternative to TradeStation (GFT data feed)?
It has been out since Monday, June 20, 2005.

*** Does anyone know the convertibility/ease of translation of TradeStation EasyLanguage to Metastock?

Well metastock is very easy to work with. Or so I hear. I have things i will need converted to metastock ---so please post what you come up with.

Equis technical support is very good either via phone or email. I subsribe to reuters datalink for end of day data and they are quick to reply. Only problem with datalink is that it does not back adjust futures contracts though they have continuations.

Call them for pricing as the internet site is somewhat confusing and they have more than 1 pricing option. I did not post this because I feel that this is in their realm to review it with prospective customers.
